Sec. 390vv. Excess crop restrictions


(a) Report to Congress on production of surplus crops on acreage served 
        by irrigation water

    Within one year of October 12, 1982, the Secretary of Agriculture, 
with the cooperation of the Secretary of the Interior, shall transmit to 
the Congress a report on the production of surplus crops on acreage 
served by irrigation water. The report shall include--
        (1) data delineating the production of surplus crops on lands 
    served by irrigation water;
        (2) the percentage of participation of farms served by 
    irrigation water in set-aside programs, by acreage, crop, and State;
        (3) the feasibility and appropriateness of requiring the 
    participation in acreage set-aside programs of farms served by 
    irrigation water and the costs of such a requirement; and
        (4) any recommendations concerning how to coordinate national 
    reclamation policy with agriculture policy to help alleviate 
    recurring problems of surplus crops and low commodity prices.

(b) Restrictions prohibiting delivery of irrigation water for production 
        of excess basic agricultural commodities

    In addition, notwithstanding any other provision of law, in the case 
of any Federal reclamation project authorized before October 12, 1982, 
any restriction prohibiting the delivery of irrigation water for the 
production of excess basic agricultural commodities shall extend for a 
period no longer than ten years after the date of the initial 
authorization of such project.
